Week 20 Challenge Completed

Explosion of colour!

Another change to the order but challenge 20 of 52 completed. Getting closer to the halfway mark. The challenge this week was to take picture that should assail the senses with vibrant colour. Any saturation of the colours in editing software should be avoided.

For this I decided to take some image of the local graffiti. The image used was a close-up of a Lion's head.

Lion's head graffiti

This was taken to concentrate on the eyes and muzzle of the Lion, in real life it is a very vivid colour that stands out in the underpass.

Week 19 Challenge Completed

Random Bird

Mixing up the order of the challenges to take advantage of opportunities as they arise. Knew there was challenge on photographing the first bird seen. I have tried a couple of time to get a pictue of a bird and not got a good one, however today on my weekend walk spotted a bird on some abandonded farm equipment that I have photographed previously. The bird was singing away and stayed perched for a good 5 minutes.

Intentional Camera Movement (ICM)

Over the last couple of weeks I have been walking through a local wood and the trees make good subjects for intentional Camera Movement.

Woodland ICM

Intentional camera movement involves moving the camera as the shot is taken and not a blurred short caused by camera shake. This image it is possible to see what a static image would of been and gives a pleasing effect.
